DISCOVERY OF THE CONCLJ,VE APD ST) .. TE POLICE ACTION THEREON

~:it about 3 :30 p.~.!T. em Ncvember 13, 1957, Sergeant

Edgar D. Crcswellcmd Trosper Vincont Vasisko of the NGt--! York

St,'3te Police were making a routine investigaticn CIt the P3rkway

Motel, on Route 17, Vestal, New York, concerning a bar. check

received by the proprietor of the motel. The Sergeant observed

Joseph Barbar~, Jr., of Apalachin (a suburb of Binghamton) in

conversation with l1rs .. Helen Schroeder, wife of the proprietor. \

After the departure 'of Mr. Barbara, Jr., Mrs~ Schroeder ,

informed the troopers' thc~t he had reserved three rooms for \

November 13 nnd 14, an~ instructed he r to charge the room

rent to the Cana da Dry Bottl:in g Cc)mpan y of Endic·.)tt, Nevi York,

of Which Joseph Barbara. Sr. was pres ident '" 'Mrs. Schroeder 'c'l • .

had Clsked B2rbnra to register fer the guests, but he said he

did nnt know wh3t men were Coming ,':md that they were han ng

a con vent i,')n of Canada Dry ~. Later in the evening

Sergeant Creswell and Trooper Vasisko drcve up to the home

erf Joseph Barbara; Sr., a~ Apalachin, New York. They


observed the following automobiles, the O\'merships of which

were later identified by them through teletype messages:

1. A Lincoln automobile ~dth license plate 62 JL, o",med by James L.9 Duca;

2. A Pontiac automobile with liconse plate 211.]1645, owned by Patsy Turrigiano;

3. A Cadillac automobile with Ne"i"! Jersey license plate Frl4821, o\'med by Alfred Angelicola.

The r"roopers thereupon connnuniceted with .\gents

Ruston an d Bro1'JU of the Alcohol an d Tobacco Tax Unit of

the Treasury Depa rtment, stationed in Bingh3mton, New York.

Later th3t evening they revisited the Parkway

Motel where they observed a Cadillac automobile, bearing

license number mJi373 , which they lator identified a s the

property of the Buckeye Cigarette Service Co., Inc., of

Gh;veland, Ohio. (John Scalish)

,30rgecmt Crosl'lell nnd Trooper Vasisko asked

:larren Schroed~r, the proprietor of the P:1rkway IvIotel, to

he.ve t he guests in one of the rooms reserved by young

B8rbnra to sign the registration cards. Rov,rever, Mr.

Schroeder was told by one of the guests that ffJoei!

(Barbara, Sr.) would "take care elf it h the next ffi'irning, :md

trot they would net sigp the registrntion cC1rcts.

The Trocpers left the motel but returned shortly

2ftor 12:30 A.M., at which time they observed the Lincoln

2utomobile o\,rned by James La Duca and "Thich they hed seen

park ed the previa us night at the res idence of Barbara 1 Sr.

The Troopers remained n t the metel until 2: 30 A.lvI. They

did not observe anyone arri ve or occupy the rooms previous ly

reserved.

At about noon on Nov ern ber J4., Sergeant Croswell an d

Trooper Vasisko returned to the Parkway Motel with an c;gent

from the Alcohol nnd Tobacco Tax Unit of the Treasury Department,

2


and observed the Cadillac automobile with the Ohio license

number, HM 373, was still there, but that the Lincoln

automobile, registered in the name of Mr. La Duca, was gone~,

Six guests who had oocupied the three rooms reserved by

!~. Barbara, Jr. had departed. The troopers drove to the

plaoe of business of Barbara, Sr. in Endicott (Canada Dry

Bottling Company) and, noting no activity, continued on to

his home in Apalachin.

This residence is located in an isolated area

near the end of a dead-end road on a hil~top, southeast

of Apalachin. There are two entrance drives. The main

drive leads into a large parking lot and a four-car garage

at the rear of the main house; the other driVe leads south

of the main house to two tenant houses and a barn.

As the troopers and the government a'gent approached

the garage, they observed six to eight cars pat-ked in the

space in front. While recording the license numbers of these

automobiles, ten or twelve men appeared from tho rear of the

garage, follpwed by others coming from the d:i.rection of the

driveway ,in back of the garage. Addltionai autom~biles,

parked in the rear of the garage, were also observed.

At this point Sergeant Croawoil of'lled from his

automobile for Sergeant Kennedy at the Vestal Stntion of the

New York State Troopers to meet him nt the Apalachin lo(:'p.t;ion~

H$ also communicated with Inspector Robert E. Denman at

Sidney hendq'Ll.arters of ,the New York State Police and

advised him of the situation., A road block was set up at

the only exit leading from the Barbflra residence and

assistance f;rom all the uniformed troopers in the area was

requested.

3


As reinforcements arrived, the roads and woods

in the vicinity of the Barbara house were combed and a

number of guests who held so~ght to evade the roadblock by

proceeding across the countryside on foot were rounded up.

In addition to the physical search of the

participants at the meeting,all vehicles were searched.

Neit..h.er-weaponsnor any other incriminating eVidence was ,-/,,"T>"

found by the S"':.ate Police. Prior to ~leasing the

participants, the State Police determined that these men

were neither wanted within New York State nor within the

jurisdiction in which they resided.

As a result of the roadblock and search of the area

made by the troopers, it was established that the individuals

listed in Appendix "AI' hereto annexed were present at the

residence of Mr. Barbara, Sr., on November 14, at the time

of the arrival of Sergeant Croswell.

During the roundup and questioning, discussions

were had between Sergeant Croswell and his superiors as to

whether any section of the Penal Code was violated by the

participants, either collectively or individually. In the

opinion of the State Police personnel there present, there

was insufficient legal basis upon which to detain the

pfiJ·!~it:'~.pt:lnt5after the interrogations were terminatedo

asked the purpose ,f his visit, stated th~t he h0d come to

visit Joseph Barbara, Sr., because he had been ill.

Despite the inference that the meeting was for an

unlawful purpose, I agree with the conclusion of State Police

officials that there was insufficient grounds upon which to

detain and charge the Apalachin visitors.


Penal Law, Section 722, subdivision 11, provides

that "any person who. with intent to. provoke a breach o.f the

peace"or whereby a breach o.f the peace may be occasioned,"

~Tho "is engaged in some illegal occupation or who bears an

evil reputation and 'with an unlawful purpose consorts with

thieves and criminals" is guilty of the offense of disorderly

conduct. Under subdivision 12, the fact that the defendant

is engaged in c:m illegal occupation or bears an evil reputa

tion and is found consorting with persons of like evil

reputations, thieves or cr~1inals is prima facie evidence

that such consorting was for an unlawful purpose .•

While it might have been possible to prove that

Apalachin guests bore evil reputati::ms, there was a complete

absence of competent proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, that

any were presently living as thieves or criminals. If such'

proofs \'JGre in the hands of authorities, the individuals

concerned would have long since been cenvicted of the ferm

of thievery or ether crime to. which such proof related.

The Court of Appeals of this State has stated bluntly:

"The legislature does not say that one who has been convicted

of a crime is thereafter to be considered a criminal, or that

consorting with such a one is an offense. The persons must

be presently living as thieves and criminals, Such is the

wording, such must~ be theroeaning. tr }1eopleJ.. Pieri, 269 1\1. Y.

315, 325.

It is probable that some of the guests escaped the

roundup... Had Sergeant Croswell been able to appraise the

situation a day earlier and detained the mon at the Parkway

Motel, or had more troopors been available at the start of the

roundup, additional participants might possibly have been bagged.

But even after the.most successful battle~ arm-chair

strategists can easily devise moves which might have made for


a still more docisive victory.

In my opinion, Sergeant Croswell and thE:.: State

Police acted vigorously and well and deserve high

commendation.

IL

ACTION OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INVESTIGATION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

On November 15, 1957, Your Excellency directed

me to conduct an investigation into the activities and

associations of the persons participating in the Apalachin

meeting,_ To that end I took the following steps immediately:

(1) The State"Police reports on the event were requisitiono(l,

(2) State Police files were examined with respect to all

information therein concorning the known participants at the

meeting.

(3) The district attorneys of tho 62 counties of the State

were requested to forward to me all data in their files

concerning such persons.

(4-) Similar requests were made of fedoral authorities and

authorities of the states in which participants resided.

(5) An examination was initiated of pistol permits extant

outside of the City of New York in order to determine

whether any of the Apalachin guests held such permits,

(Police Commissioner Kennedy of Now York City initiated a

similar review of police permits within the city.)1

1. Our investigation revealed that pistol pel'mits were held by the following persons known to have participatod in the Apalachin meeting:

Dominick D'Agostino Joseph Falcone SalVatore Falcone Carlo Gambino

Emanuel

Sam Lagattuta Sam Nonachino John Montuna Patsy Sciortino

Zicari

As a result of telegraphed requests by this office to the district attorneys and county judges having authof~ ity in the premises, most of these permits were revoked,

7


After questioning Sergeant Edgar Croswell on Novem

ber 27, 1957, I conferred with Honorable George Boldman,

District Attorney of the County of Tioga in which county the

Apalachin meeting occurred.. I pointed out to District Attorney

Boldman that only a Tioga County grand jury could conduct a

full-scale investigation into the circUITlstances, purposes, and

agenda of the Apalachin meeting. Nr. Boldman agreed that it

was his duty to initiate such an investigation, but stated

that he had no assistants and no investigative staff, and that

the expense of so wide an investigation would be prohibitive

for Tioga County which '\o'.Tould, in effect, be carrying out a

state-v-Tide function in such an investigation.

Legal end investigative assistance could be

supplied by one of two means:

(1) The Governor could direct the Attorney-General to

appoint a special prosecutor, in which event the expenses of

the special prosecutor and his staff would, by law, be charged

to Tioga County; or

(2) the Commissioner of InvGstigation could furnish

staff assistance to the District Attorney pursuant to the

provisions of Section 11 of the Executive Law and defray the

expenses and salaries of his staff out of the budget of the

Commissioner's office.

The second course was obviously fairer to the

Tioga County taxpayers.

Follo1...ring further telephone conferences and a

JnGBt,ing wltJl t.hp D:i.st.ri.ct Attorney at OVlego, New York,


on December 4, 1957, the District Attorney and I formally

exchanged letters of agreement, copies of which are set forth

in Appendix nBff hereto annexed, whereby, 'Va th your approval,

the assistance and cooperation of my office in a grand jury

investigation were extended to the District Attorney.

On December 9, 1957, members of my staff met with

District Attorney Boldman and the Honorable Francis J. Clohessy,

County Judge of Tioga County, for the purpose of arranging for

the impaneling of a grand jury.

The Board of Supervisors of Tioga County made

available to my staff, rent-free, adequate space in the County

Courthouse at Owego. Equipment Wc'.s procured and paid for by

my office.

I assigned First Deputy Commissioner Harold Mayer

to direct the operation of the Tioga County office. His

permanent staff included:

Associate Counsel Chaunc3Y E. Wilowski * Special Associate Counsel Samuel Bernstein

Chief Investigator Hyman Rosenb.latt Investigator John Brackun ' Investigator James Sullivan

Other members of the staff were assigned for servicef'rom t,jme

to time, as required.

On January 3, 1958, a Grand Jury in and for the

County of Tioga was convened, and an investigation entitled

"P8ople of the State of New York against John Doe, et al"

to determine whether the crimes of conspiracy, bribery of

In addit icn to the cooperation rec eived from the

Nsw York State Police enrl law enforcement agencies 2JUtside

of this state, our office obtained vc:rious reccrr1.s ,mc'l ~t3ta

from the f6llowins::: 3F"encies. in our state:

In the· course of the Grand Jury sessions, and

through the efforts and cooperation of this office, sixty-

three witnesses have thus far appeared before the Grand Jury,

were S\AlOm, and eith er test ifie d or rc:fus ed to testify on

the ground trt~t any answer voThich they might give would tend

to inc riminat e them:

(a) 20 witnesses, who weTe mc:mbers of the New York

State Police, had a pert in the roundup of the

indi viduals suspe cted of being pa rt icipa nts at

the meet ing;

(b) 16 witnesses, who were other than 8 ctual participcmts

8t the meet ing ;

(c) 27 witnesses, who were actml participAnts at the

meetin g. (1)

(1) The appe a ranc e of !nthony Peter Riella, a participant \Alho resided in the Stete of New Jersey cmd was not subject to our subpoena, vms obtained under the reciprocal state statutes. Throuf?P an order of the SuprelTE Court of the State of Ne\Al Jersey, this witness vlaS ordered to appear before the Grand Jury. Though granted immunity, he refus(;d to testify,snd wes indicted for c.~.~·'·:+·· c_·y.'r~"~'. ~: <:, 1." ")~~"'~-;-~, :'-'.:~;_ ft,~~~:~ ~~.~d..-i "':;:" ~·",':.~:,:·1 . .,


Of the 62 or more actual participants at the moeting,

to date 3-4 have been served ",lith subpoenas.

In addition, scores ~Jf witnesses were quosticnc;d,

beth formally and informally, ,'-md hundreds of pc.gos of official

records wore examined by members of the ·staff of the Commissioner

of Investigation in an effort to discover fruitful avenues of

inquiry into the purposes of the mooting.

Of the 27 pC:trticipants who were served "Vvith

subpoenas and who have c.lrcc.dy appeQred and were sworn,

20 refused to answer questions on the ground th2.t any e.ns'ltlCrs

they might glve would tend to incriminate them and thereby

asserted their privilege agc:dnst self-incriminaticm.

In order to secure material testimony despite these

refusals, it was decided to effer iImnunity to certain

participants. A ""itness who f::tiled to answer pr0per questions

after having been granted immunity could be cited or indicted

for contempt. In or,der to avoid hampering any investigation

being conducted by other district attorneys concerning such

witnesses, we communicated with those district attorneys

co~cerned and obtained their agreement to our procedure.

To date, four witnesses have been offered immuni·ty but have

refused to testify. As E' result, the fol1cwing proceedings

~avo b00n instituted:

(1) FRANK Z1TO - C'his witness was detained and

released in $500 bail as a material ",litness.

A motion by the District Attorney

before County Court Judge Francis J. Clohessy to summarily

punish Zito for contempt which, after several hearings,

is still pending, has been adjourned to May 20, 1958 upon

the application of Zito on the ground that he is ill.

....

(2) ANTHONY PETER RIELA - indicted for contempt

*(17 counts) on F8bruary 25, 1958 and released on $1000

bail pending trial. Trial has been set for May 21,

1958.

(3) ROY CARLISI - indicted for contempt

*(15 counts) on February 27, 1958, and arraigned and

released on I-larch 7, 1958 under a $1000 bail bond.

(4) DOMINICK D'AGOSTINO - indicted for contempt

*(7 counts) on April 8, 1958, and arraigned and released

on that date under a $1000 bail bond.

As of this date, a n~~ber of witnesses are scheduled

to appear or reappear before the Grand Jury. Efforts are

being made to locate missing witnesses. Additional indictments

must be anticipated should any other witness who is offered

immunity refuse to testify.

':< On each count, the defendant, if convicted, is liable to· a sentence of one year's imprisonment and a fine of $500. Thu~, Riela facos the'possibility of 17 years and a fine . of $8500; Carlisi, 15 years and a fine of $7500; D'Agostino, 7 years and a fine of $3500.

vvI-iAT THE nJVEST~GAJ'rDN DISCLOSED

1.

The Meeting was Planned in Advance.

Employees of Armour & Company, Binghamton, New

York, testified that a large order of meat products,

totaling $432.S1, was ordered personally by Barbara, Sr.,

on November 5, 1957, with instructions that the meat would

be picked up on NovGmber 13, 1957.

On the morning of November 13, 1957 Barbara, Sr ..

accompanied by Tornabe, was observed at the Binghamton

airport.

That mornirig, T. ViTo A. passengers ilGordon l1 and

lILarocca lf arrived at Binghamton at 11:17 from Newo.rko Scheduled

to return on November 14, they had given the airline the

telephone number APalo.chin 6-2711 for verification of their

reservations.. The number is listed to Joseph Barbara, Sr.

At about 3: 00 p.m., }·1ichael Genovese and John

Larocca of the Coin Distributing Company, Pittsburgh, Pa.,

registered at the Arlington Hotel in Binghamton, sharing

rooms g52, g54 and 856. Both men's bills were charged to

Barbara's Canada Dry account. Laroe ca, hovwvor, was not

among those stopped and identified in the State Police

roundup.

On November 14, 1957 Barbara, Sr.'s scvsn- passenger

Cadillac and two other automobiles appe8.red at the airport to

meet Flight 211 of the Mohawk Air Lines, which arrived at

10:59 a.m. from Newark. An unusually large number of passengers

15


deplaned at the Binghamton Airport on that flight. None of

the names on the passenger list of the flight belong to

kn~wn Apalachin guests, but three passongers had given the

airline the Newark telephone number HU 2-1539 for verification

purposes. This number is listed to one John Lardioro, who

has a New Jersey police record. Two others listed the

telephone number of one UToto", bcdieved by New Jersey' Stc,te

Police to be a waterfront associate of participant Catena.

Though all of these individuals had tickets to return to

Newark later on November 14, none made the return flight.

Since guests J::unes Colletti of Pueblo, Colorado,

and Frank Zito of Springfield, Illinois, were registered c.t

thG Newark Airport Motel, managed by guest Anthony Petor

Ricla, on November 12, 13, and 14, it must be presumed that

Colletti and Zito were among those who arrived at Binghamton

by air on tho morning of November 14, 1957 and were taken

to Apalachin in a Barbara automobile. This presumption is

supported by the fact that Colletti emd Zito l.'lere on foot

when stopped and questioned, having, appC!.rently, no other

means of transportation. Others who depecrted on foot, :md

may havo arrived by air, were Larassc, Lombardozzi,

Bonventre, Bonanno and Santes. Vito Genovese, Catena, Ida

and Olivetto returned by air after they were released.

Simone Scozzari and Frank Desimone clf California,

Russell Buffalino of Kingston, Pennsylvania, and James

La Duca of Niagara Falls 1 stopped in New York City on their

way to Apalachin.

16


Scozzari and Desimone stayed at the New Yorker

Hotel on November 11; Buff'alino staye~ at the Hotel

Lexington on November 11 and 12; La Duca was at the

Lexington from November 7 until November 11.

On November 13, La Duca checked in at the Parkway

Motel at Vestal (near Apalachin). Also at the Parkway

were Carlisi, De Marco, Scalish, and Charles Montanal

of Buffalo.

Castellano, Gambino, Rava and Miranda stayed at

the Wright Hotel, Kirkwood.

Natale Evola of Brooklyn, and Jerseyites Louis

Larasso and Frank Majuri, were at the Carlton Hotel in

Binghamton on November 13. Larasso and Majuri did not

check out of the Carlton until November 14.

Charles Chiri of Bergen and Joseph Riccobono

were known members of a party of three who stayed at the

Dell Motel in Binghamton on November 13.

I Not to be confused with John Montana. Charles was not identified in the roupdupo Charles Montana stopped at Utica on his way to Vestal~

17


Vito Genovese, Civello" and Filardo were at the

The convergence of theSe men, mnny from considerable

distanq0s, at Apalachin on November 13 and 14, clearly indicates

n plannc(1. meeting. Their accommodations were reserved. in

The sixteen months prior to the November 1957

convention had vii tnessed several smaller gatherings of the

guests at Binghamton.

Profaci, Barbara, and three others, were registered

at Binghamton's Hotel Arlington on July 9, 1956.

Louis Volpe, Frank Garafolo, John Benventre,

Joseph Bonanno and Barbaro were regis tered at the Arlington

on October 17 nnd 18, 1956. (It wo.s im.rnedintely ofter this

meeting thnt Gnr[',folo, CD.rmine Gnlente, and nn unknown were

apprehended for speeding on the road beck to Now York.)

On M[lrch 18, 1957, Angelo Sciandra, Russell

Buffc.lino nnd three other men signed in at the Arlington.

Louis Volpe, John LaroccD., Patsy Sciortino, and

Sam;: Patsy, AI, and Joseph 11onD-chino were all r.t the

Arlington on June 26, 1957.

The analyses &low that, according to police records,

the Apalachin deleg9.tes had the following common interests;

In Gambling 10

In Narcotics . 9

In Illicit Alcohol 16

In Union Racketeering 5 other information indicates that many others of the group

may have similar interests.

Forl~inst9.nce, on June 17, 1957, Frank Scalise of

211 Kirby Street, City Island, New York (telephone, City

Island 8-1856), was shot and killed by two unknown men in front

of 2380 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, New York. Scalise was associated

with Lucky Luciano and was active in narcotics circles;

furtherm0re, he wa.s reputed to be an important member of the

Mafia for the Bronx, New York area. His death is believed by

the police to have been occasioned by a struggle within the

Mafia for the control of the importation of narcotics into

New York City and the distribution therefrom.

On January 12, 1957, while Joseph Giammona of

Downey, California, and Frank Desimone, an attorney, also

of Downey, occupied rooms 3017-18 and 19 in the New Yorker

Hotel, New York City, a call was made from that suite to

Son_lise l s home, City Island 8 ... 1856.

Frank Deslmone and SlmoneScozzari (also a

CaliforniR resident), also identified at the ApalaChin

meeting, have, on other occasions, occupied the same suite

at the New Yorker Hotel on May 8-11, 1956, August 7-10, 1957,

and November 11-15, 1957 (Apalachin meeting).

27


.'-•• <,,'

From the fact that Giammona and Desimone occupied

occupied two rooms of a three-X"oom suite, it is reasonable

to assume, from the aforemeritioned relationship of Desimone

and Scozzari, that the other occupant, though not registered,

was Simone Scozzari.

Scozzari, when apprehended at the Apalachin

Meeting, had $lO,GOO on his person; when asked his occupation

he answered "unemployed."

A significantly large proportion of the

Apalaohin participants are engaged in what appear on

J the surface to be legitimate activities connected with

the garment industry, namely, as manufacturing wholesalers,

contractors, truckers, labor "consultantsfiand union

officials.

They are key figures in the non-union garment

industry existing in Pittston, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania

sweat shops, lTIUSClf'lr-pr-otRct0d.· t;L'unktng bOS~HS ond--double

dealing union officials have collaborated to undercut the

1og.,tt.~mo.t·~_ tln::t.on:t lZBd gA'l~lIlAnt ,industry of' New York

Ci1:iy.

28


It must therefore be inferred that the purpose of

the meeting was to discuss problems relatin~ to these illicit

activities. Such problems would presumably' incltide:

Division of territories

Division of proceeds

~ayoffs and protection

'~rangements ~n~ expenses.for Idbbying, ~ncluding pol~t~cal contr~butiooQ .

.........

-"--Manipula tion of labor grievances, and~ -"~ , extension of infiltration into labor unions, ~Ji th particular re.f·D~·once to the s trike in the Pennsyl \1a.l.(ia women t s c.pp8X'el . .indn .. "!t:.ry.

It has been speculated in the press that the nl'tl~'der

of Alber·t. An[lsta~la and . the attempted assassination of Frc..r.ik

'Certafnly the pre'vlous activities of certain

of the guests .. wb1l1\Q 'not rule out that possibility.

of the car collision drove t1+e front seat forward, and an

exact duplicate of the first concealed box was disclosed.

~palachin guest Joseph Bonanno, a narcotics suspect

and one of the persons who attended the 1956 meetin~ at the

Arlington Hotel in Binghamton, visite~ Italy in October of

1951 where he conferred with'Santo Sorge and "Lucky" Luciano.

On October 10, 1951 Bonnnno was observed at the

Excelsior Hotel in Rome and in various night clubs. in that

ci ty.· During his stay in Rome he used the al ias of tlDi Bella".

In his compnny were four unidentified men. On October-13

Bonanno was observed with these men at the Compani Airport.

On October 25, 1951 Albert Anastasia was killed at

the Park-Sheraton Hotel in New York City,. and, shortly

thereafter, Bonanno appeared at the Apalachin meeting in

New York.

Joseph Barbara, the host, was arrested in 1931

by the Pennsylvania state Police, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, charged

with suspicion of murder.

Calomero Collogaro of Montedoro, Sicily, a~rived

in Pittston, Pennsyl vani2.~,on December 31, 1930. On Je.nuary 4,

1931, at ,about 8:00 p.m., Callognro was walking along

Railroad Stroet, Pittston, when he was overtnken by two men,

one of whom fired six shots at him. The\1'lot.:i..min 'hJ s .

dying deolaration accused one Tony Morrcnle of shooting him

because of difficulties between the victim and Santo Volpe,

Sam Volpe, and Chnrles Buffo.lino. __

It was as tablished thn t Bnrbr.ra wns a frequent

visitor at the home of Carmel Morree.le, a brother of Tony.

Upon his anprohonslon •. Tony Morref'.le claimed that at the time

30


of the murder he was working at Old Forge at a still owned

by Barbara. Barbara was arrested on suspicion of being the

second man; however, he was discharged when witnesses could

not identify him.

Later in 1931, Barbara was arrested by New York City

Police charged with violation of Section 1897 of the Penal Law

. (gun). Barbara had been stoClpod at c. rOB.d block in Brooklyn

during a hunt for Vincent Call, a New York gangster who was

la tel' murdered. When Barbara Wp.s see.rched, a pis tol wns found

in his possession. In court ~e produced n permit signed by a

judge in Broome County, New York. He was then disch2.rged.

(8/1/31)

On February 10, 1932, BC.rbcra wr:s tnken into custody

in Scranton, Pennsylvo.nic. nnd charged with suspieion of murder.

He was not booked on the aforementioned chQrge; the arrest

does not show on his criminal record.

Ci ty pnrolee, in compnny with EdWard vioiss of Scrnnton, wns

cnr started, shooting and, ccs n result, Steinberg W8.S killed

and Weiss was wounded and later recovered. When taken to

the hospital, Weiss identified Barbara and Nick Ross as the

killers'. They woro both arrested and t-~ken t.o tho hospitnl.

Confronted by them, Weiss recanted his previous story and

stated that they wore not the men. Bf'rbarc. and Ross were

s-ubsequently rclens.ed.

31


In 1933, Barbara was arrested by the Scranton,

Pennsylvania police, on suspicion.

At 7:00 p.m., on February 16, 1933, the body of

Samuel Wichner, bootlegger and hi- jacker, viaS found in the

rear trunk of a car on Meridian Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Deo.th was caused by strangulation. There was a noose about

the victim's neck and the rope was fastened to the victim's

knees, in typical gangland fashion.

Two men had been observed leaving the victim's

car and entering a black Buick sedan occupied by two other

men.

The victim had informed his wife that he had

been to Barbara's home on a previous night for a conference

on a bootlegging venture with Barbara, Santos Volpe, and

Angelo Polizzi and had been instructod by Barbara to return

at 9:30 p.m. the following night without informing anyone

as to where he was gc,ing.

During the investigation, calls were traced from

Barbara's home to Utica 4-0613, listed to Salvatore Falcone

and Brothers, 550 Bleeker Street, Utica, New York.

On the failure or the witnoss. who had observed

two men leav1ng the. victim's car, to identify either Polizzi

or Barbara they were discharged.

On june 24, 1933, at 10:00 A.M., the Gotham shoe

factory in Bingbamton, New York, was held up and robbed of a

payroll in the sum of $4775 by two men using a Buick sedan,

New York license 2L452~, registered in the name of James Hart,

1114 Park Place, Brooklyn, New York. An operatorfs license

issued to one James Richmond of 282 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn,

New York, was found at the scene; this proved to be fictitious,

,32


The Buick sedan was found abandoned with the

motor running at about 11:00 a.m. the same date, about one

mile from the scene of the robbery. One hour prior to the

robbery, a Chrysler sedan bearing Pennsylvania license #69Z12

was seen in the vicinity where the Buick was later found.

Only the operator was in the Chrysler sedan. At 11:00 a.m.

this automobile was again seen in tho same vicinity and was

alleged to have picked up two men. At 2:00 p.m. the same auto

mobile was alleged to have picked up two other men in the

vicinity, making a total of five. 'rhe Chrysler was checked

out to be registered in the name of Joseph Barbara of 717

South Main Street, Old Forge, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.

On the date of the holdup, Joseph Barbara was

married to Josophine Vivona of 4 Garfield Avenue, Endicott,

Now York, with many known New York gangsters at the wedding.

On July 9,1934, Barbara was quostioned by the

Broome County authorities in connection with the murder of

Joe Morreale on July 4, 1934.

On June 13, 1946, B9rbara was arrested by the U. S.

Marshal in violRtion of the OPA, illegal acquisition of sugar.

On June 27, 1946 ho was found guilty and fined $5000 in the

U. S. District Court in Utica, Now York.

It has been speculated also in tho press that the

gathering was a meeting of the so-cn.llod "MafiR.," ·::>f which

at least eight of the participants are identified, in

various law enforcement agency files, as leading members.

The Nafia's traditional penalty of death to

informers has thus far effectively prevented the penetration

of the veil of secrecy which surrounds this reputed cabal.

Its membership and organization have been the subject of

many books and reports based almost entirely upon information

short of legal evidenc e, which permits of reasonable

33


inference or speculation but upon which no official finding

can be properly made.

Although there is obvious support for the theory

of what has been disclosed, a contribution by this report to the

mass of speculation without competent evidence would serve no

useful purpose.

PRESENT STATE OF THE INVESTIGATION . ' (

1.

Criminal Prosecutions of AEalachin ParticiEants

Although a parade of witnesses have appeared

before othol' grand juries, both within and vlithout the

State of New York, and before a Legislative Committee,

all of these investigative qodles have reported that no

material evidence was given by an.y of the delegates

rela ti ve to the true purpose or purpos es of tho meeting

in Apalachin. To date, no 0ffort has been made by these

agencies to counteract the invocation of the privilege

made beforo their bodies. Only in the instant investiga~

tion wore any criminal prosecutions initiated as a rosult

of tho November 14 meeting,

The threat of a prison term is the only possible

moans available to tho Grand Jury to securo the Bvidence vital

to the successful conclusion of this investigation. However,

should the threat of prison not prove sufficient to unseal the

lips of the recalcitrant witnesses, at least the ends of

justice will be served in that witnesses who continue to

defy tho Grand Jury will suffer the law1spenalty.

Should these -witnesses, or anyone of' them,

·-\1~.tiJnJlt()ly _ bow to the law and testify either before the

trial of their ca ses or aftor, a grand jury will then ha ve

bofore it for the first time facts necessary for it to

determine what crime or crimes, if any, were planned or

cOtrI1rli-'l.ted in Apalachin, Now York, on November 14, 1957,

Correlation of Information - Unfinished Work

The action take~ by this office has resulted in the

accumulation in one place of priceless informa.tion concerning tf,le

Apalachin participants and their activities and associations

which was hitherto dispersed in the. archives of various law

enforcement agencies both within and without this state. To this

fund of information has been added the results of individual

investigations undertaken by my staff.

The indexing and evaluation of this material, which

will be turned over to my successor agency, the Commission of

Investigation, on May 1, 1958, will require several weeks. It

will then be available for use by the Commission and by other

law enforcement agencies as authorized by the Commission.

The questioning of witnesses by. the Grand Jury has not

been completed. Additional indictments are in prospect for

witnesses who have refused to testify.

The Tioga County District Attorney will require further

assistance;· in order to enable tho Grand Jury to conclude its

work. Many New York state pnrticipaltlts remain to~. be found.

The attendance of additional out-of-state witnesses must be

compelled by proceedings in their homo stntes. Witnesses who

have failed ·to respond to subpoenaes should be cited for contempt.

Investigation to identify participants not included in the

original round-up, already fruitful in disclosing the presence

of John Larocca, Charles Montana,. and Neil Migliore (see

Appendix "A" page 3) at the scene, should be continued, The

pending contempt indictments must bo tried.

Respectfully submitted,
